Hey guys! Anyone interested can check out our newly created REN Reactions Playlist, HERE: kzfaq.info/sun/PLzwQo9bDDsIyNgTDzE4mcnTjwIY-l0gbH Enjoy! 🙏❤

"Two zero zero five" - is 2005, the year the twins were born. They both died at 14 years old in 2019, the year that Jenny's Tale was first released. Just another little bit of genius detail, not trying to correct you. The other two songs were released over the next couple of years, and as far as I know, Ren didn't have the whole story worked out when he began it. There was no Violet yet when Jenny died. As for the location, this was filmed in Brighton, in a small neighborhood where pretty well all of his videos are filmed. In fact the area he operates in is so small the same locations are used multipe times, or can be seen in the background of other videos. It's amazing how much utility Ren gets out of so little - his voice, his guitar, his friend Sam and his camera, his neighborhood. A true inspiration for any independent artist.

When he was asked how he would want to be remembered, and his response was that he would most like to be remembered as a Storyteller, so he would be most pleased by your remarks!!!!

4:45 "He's a musical Swiss Army knife." Great analogy. "He's a singer/rapper/beat-boxer/storyteller." He'slso a strong guitar player and pianist, produces his own beats, directs his videos, and also acts in his videos (seriously, his performance in MG3 is amazing).

I don't want to over-hype the thing, but at 11:30 you guys talk about all the work that goes into these videos behind the scenes, or in the preparation for them. When you see what he and his collaborator/friend Sam did with MG3... and the fact that Ren was in Canada getting treatments for the entire lead-up to its filming. Between Hi Ren, The Tales, and the Money Game trilogy, Ren has cemented himself at the top for me.

Your reaction was a masterpiece within itself!! I really enjoyed your intellect, wisdom and insights about the Tales & the artist Ren. Yes indeed, Ren is a master at his craft. 2023 was the year of Ren.

Great reaction guys, I really enjoyed that. You should check out Ren's Money Game trilogy. Money game part 1 and part 3 are both live one takes, part 2 a lyric video (it was during the pandemic so one take video, there is a live video but it is spoken word and only part of the song. They are all brilliant, in part 3 they had a larger budget for the video, it is amazing.

Ren totally inhabits all the characters, and there is NO dead space. Even the silences or pauses are calculated to move the story. In a couple of places, after the phone call, and when standing from the hospital bed, you can see Ren shudder, as if to shake himself into the next persona or scene of the narrative.

Ren "puppet master" He's restoring hope to many people in more ways than one,

The two zero zero five line refers to the year . 2005 .add the 14 years of the twins to 2005 brings us to the time Violets tale was written 2019 ..he rewinds the time at the beginning on the hospital bed on guitar and brings us forward again to present time after Violets beating again with guitar . genius

Ingenuity is right! Ren has shared a goal to have a project on Netflix!!

The bed in the opening scene is actually a toddler bed raised up on blocks or something. They put so much work into these videos with very little money. Ren and his crew are so talented they can turn anything into a masterpiece.

Great reaction, guys. Just to fill in a few blanks, as any of the Renegades would do. Yes, Jenny was a prostitute ( it's nightime, "walked the route a thousand times before", "high heal shoes", "rosie off your cheeks"...). The tales were inspired by a news article that Ren read about a teenage boy who killed a prostitute that ended with the quote "It's such a shame". The overall story illustrates the cycle of violence. Jenny is quiet like her mother. Screech violent like his father. There is some discussion that Violet was a prostitute as well and Stevie her pimp. It would make sense coming from an abusive home. There are a number of other details in the story that you pick up on subsequent plays but it's always impactful.

Crazy to think that these are live performances. Money Game Parts 1 and 3 are also live, and imo are even more impressive, especially Part 3. If you choose to do that series, Part 2 is a simple lyric video. There is a live version, but it only includes one verse - the lyric video is the full song. Just an FYI.

I heard Ren say that Violet's Tale was made for less than 100 pounds. 50 of that was spent on the "hospital room", which is actually a bike storage room in a friend's apartment building (there are bicycles behind the privacy curtain) and most of that was spent on the child's bed which Ren ordered by accident because it was cheap. As usual, they had no permission to film there. The first 2 segments of the trilogy cost even less. The guy is a miracle worker. (None of the 100+ Ren music videos before MG3 cost more than 1,000 pounds. Some, like CRUTCH, had a budget of literally zero.)

This wasn't originally a trilogy story. Ren read a small article about a 14 yr old boy killing a young prostitute with a knife in an attempted robbery. Knife crime had been skyrocketing in London at this time. Later that same evening the boy had been shot and killed by the armed police division that responded to a sighting of a possible suspect for a girl found murdered in Sussex Gardens area in Paddington - one of the capital's most notorious red light districts. It disturbed him, so I BELIEVE he set out to write a commentary not just on senseless violence, but on how desensitized we've become to it. The words he ends both Jenny and Screech's Tales with is "It's such a Shame" we say these words all to often and just move on without a second thought. The the lead inspector was quoted saying " So Young, It's such a shame". Violets Tale was written over 2 years later & IN MY VIEW adding yet another layer of commentary by Ren. I believe he wanted us to consider not only generational violence but to make us look at all angles of society that we turn a blind eye to. Both characters are born out of violence on that cruel night of Violets beating and then both killed with brutal violence in the same night 14yrs later. Also, his lyrics have even more meaning when you read in between the lines. For example he doesn't say what Jenny was doing or why she wanted to escape from this place & life, or why Screech thought she was older saying at Patrick's door "I left this lady lying on the floor". Could that be because the way she's dressed & her heavy makeup? Also why was a 14yr old girl out so late in the dead of night walking alone in a sketchy area, wearing high heeled shoes, walking down a street that "she's walked it a thousand times before"? Everything points to Jenny being an underage prostitute, showing us what Ren writes has reason & is made to make us think. There's no fat on the bone, every word is weighed & has meaning. Interesting how Jenny has the same traits as her mother Violet, quiet, voiceless, and timid. Whereas Screech mirrors his father Stevie (the Prick boyfriend) in every way, Loud, obnoxious, and easily provoked to violence. They didn't know one another and had never met their biological parents. What made these kids so much like their parents? Was it simply Nature, inherited traits due to their genetic make-up OR Nurture, being brought up in the broken governmental system filled with, mistreated & in many cases, abused children, shuffled from one foster home to another ? He organically takes us on this journey, leaving us to think shouldn't we be doing better in this so called "advanced, wealthy, 1st world society. I'm loving your reactions. Cheers 🥂

Gentlemen, I've loved all your Ren reactions but this trilogy has been my favorite review thus far. Personally I believe; since you're both film makers, you'd both appreciate reviewing Ren's Money Game trilogy next. Ren's piano skills in pt.3 alone should convince you but here's my pitch anyway. 🙏🔥😎🤑 Part 1: is in the similar format of Ren's Tale trilogy & Hi Ren, which can be considered live performance pieces that are performed in 1 take. Ren has commented that this was his first attempt at this style of video & it took them over 130 takes to get the right shot, choreography & music to flow perfectly. Part 2: is a studio recording with Ren & his videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey creating an artistic lyric video to assist in the messaging/storytelling. Pt.2 shows the money game through a narrower lens of corporate greed & government corruption & its effects on our present day society. Part 3: Is Ren's magnum opus, once again returning to his one shot live performance format with Samuel Perry-Falvey behind the lens, but on a grander scale then anything they've attempted to date. Ren has even stated that in scale & technicality, this was his most ambitious project yet. Ren wraps up this trilogy telling us the life story of a single fictional character raised from birth in this money game, tightening the focus of the lens even more. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber shared Money Game 3 on Instagram and said Ren is one of the best storytellers he has seen in a long time. Film maker Jonathan Hiller was blown away by the story, as well as the cinematography & choreography. By the end of the video Jonathan say's " this is the genius of Ren, by the end of the video his art transcended into a spiritual realm. Ren's use of negative space is captivating & was utterly transformative." I'm really hoping to see you both reacting to the money game series & that I had a small hand in convincing you both in doing it 😁. 🙏

14:54 Exactly 💯 ❤️ Edit: "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make "

24:45 100% - every single breath is calculated. That sounds torturous to me, but I think it comes easy to him. Every second of his videos is finely honed. Also wrt the clarity of his audio. He explained somewhere that every second is meticulously mixed to keep all the levels perfect and very clean and clear, despite the weal lapel mic he wears. All of this is the result of obsessive levels of planning, preparation, and post-recording mixing. But he loves to do it, his eyes - and Sam's as well - light up when they talk about it. Ren did an interview with Black Pegasus while in Canada, and Sam had flown over to visit and film a video ("For Joe" it was called - a whole other story and side of Ren). I'd recommed the interview, hearing Ren speak about his art, and struggles is a whole other thing, again.

Ren is 🪄🎼🦄✨ Happy 2024 🎇🥂🎆 💙🇫🇮😁🤘

Most of Rens songs are done live and one take...That is they shoot lots of takes and use the one they are happy with...but the singing and playing are all live...hes a clever lad...haha

You guys have given us an excellent reaction to REN’s masterful tale of generational violence on the streets of London. From what I know, Ren took elements of a news story about the death of a young prostitute at the hands of a young thug who was himself killed by police, and wove this tragic tale. The line” it’s such a shame” at the end of the first two tales is a commentary on news anchors who relate a story like this, offer up a weak platitude of it’s such a shame and then move on to the weather or whatever. Ren pulls no punches in his stories and gives us a look into what is happening on the streets of his city and into the epidemic of knife violence sweeping the UK. Thank you and I’ll be watching for more.

He's independent artist, not tons of money behind him, he uses the locations, chooses them, like the pro he is. AMAZING TALENT!

Initially, Ren wrote just the first two songs (The Tale of Jenny and Screech). It was a few years later that he had the inspiration to write Violets'Tale, as a way to complete the tragic cycle.

As you well know Ren is a brilliant storyteller. With the medieval/baroque style of music in this trilogy he reminds me of a travelling minstrel or bard in these modern times. He a pure genius at this. 💚

Whenever listening to Ren, I have to think of "the voice" - but he is not the voice of Britain, he is the voice of all of us that are unheard. People from broken homes, people with trauma and dark past, victims of domestic violence, abuse, mental illness and many more. He is a flame in the dark that, with every new release, shines brighter. I am thankful to know his music.

Ren is a master story teller...thanks guys great reaction❤❤appreciate you.

He has restored my faith in mankind! Is exactly what I felt when I dis overed ren. I'm 66 and have not heard a voice or seen such h creativity in decades. He isn't using a 3 Min formula that's sexualised. His voice is unique, his messages so badly needed. The younger generation need Ren.. he is a genius

“It’s so dark and tragic and beautiful.” You’re so right. Ren’s a genius; making it look so easy. Fab reaction. 🎉

Apart from the Money Game trilogy that everyone is recommending you still have a couple of songs with Chinchilla to give you a real taste of his singing ability, along with the busking material with Big Push. Although pretty much anything he does is pure gold and it eventually becomes frustrating for reactors to have to hold off plunging into all his work immediately.

Something I've observed, having seen many reactions to the Tales: in Violet's Tale, from the KNOCK to the fast-forward is 1 minute, and in that minute, regardless of how the reaction is to that point, EVERYONE is captured, and has a mix of anger and sadness by the end of it. *However*, for those that "get" the twist, nearly everyone has a feeling of elation or almost happy surprise, followed by genuine deep thoughts back in the song when it clicks. Don't know what causes the elation, but its definitely there, and I love that it is. 🙏🏻❤️

Please don't forget the collaboration from A Samuel for this video and many of his other friends on many of his other work. Like many artists he doesn't work alone, He is phenomenal creator who has found a group of new extremely talented people that many large networks should be embracing. The future is so bright if they are given the chance in life. Speilberg, John williams, etc come to mind with this group of young artists.

So many details! The way he sings as if he is crying at parts, the camera catches up to his face as sang face the blue lights, the timing of him walking into the green light making him look like a ghost when Violet passes! 😮😢The seagulls must have been random, but well timed.

Glad to see Ren come back to the channel! You guys have covered 3 very heavy songs, this is about time in most Ren journeys to get to know Ren's other, lighter side. I *HIGHLY* recommend some of his busking, in particular "I Shot the Sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" with his band The Big Push (look for the video with the RED SUSPENDERS), or "Earned It/Man's World/Falling" with Sam Thompkins. Love the reactions! Please keep them coming!! 🫡👍🏻🔥

Ren and Sam (his videographer) are a force to be reckoned with. Ren has said that him and Sam have a dream/concept for Netflix where he would initially be involved but then fade out, but sort of a musical black mirror yet musical type show. I would love to see their ideas/thoughts come to fruition...

He is like a medieval minstrel brought up to date. Masterpiece.

Ren is a true Bard! An actor, poet, and musician. He's truly amazing!

Great reaction to a genius' masterpiece...!

Bardcore for sure ... Great review

I almost didn’t watch your reaction, having seen countless others by various people. But I am drawn back time and time again by all the aspects of creativity and performance that Ren affords this extraordinary work. And again, it was as if I watched the whole thing anew. The only bonuses was that yours, gentlemen, was the most incisive and relevant reaction to any performance that I have yet to enjoy on KZfaq. Most detract from the experience of the original. Yours has informed and confirmed. Thank you. Liked and subscribed ❤

It was filmed in Brighton. (Seagulls, even the town's football team are nicknamed the Seagulls) As rough as some of these tales are. they are proving to be safe spaces here on the internet for people to discuss and help each other. with respect and understanding. it's a magical thing. Ren was inspired to write Jenny's Tale when he read of a prostitute being murdered by a 14 year old boy and he wondered how that had come about. how does a 14 year old boy come to a place where he kills someone in the street. the other two are abstractions from that original premise. Great work, in my opinion. Ren was raised in a very small, rural community in North Wales. (Same place as myself)

Seriously y'all... Rens Art... aka Music videos... even the Lyrical videos... are off the charts! See Ready for You, uninvited, Crucify your Culture, Love Music pt 2, 3, and 4! Etc... For me... his Crutch video is the most impressive for me!!!

the Tales of Jenny and Screech were wrote and took place in 2019. Violet gave birth to them in 2005. That makes Jenny and Screech 14 years old. So the lyric 2 0 0 5 is the year that Violets story took place.

Thanks fellas, great reaction. Someone in Ren's Patreon chat mentioned your channel and I'm glad they did. Ren is a master of everything he touches and I think you will see this as you travel down the rabbit hole. He started producing beats at 12 I believe and has had to overcome so many unbelievable challenges... to this day he is still in Canada for specialized treatment for Lyme, etc. etc. etc. Thanks again and HNY!

As Film Cats... his Crutch video from 12 years ago is a MUST far y'all!!!!! Also... Children of the Moon... a "Fun" Halloween type video! Still... All Ren! Lol

2 zero zero 5 was 14 years earlier from the Jennie and Screeh tales, which he did in 2019. And, doesn't anyone but me get the ghost vibe from the first singing in Violet's tale. When we feign a ghost voice, how do we do it? Whooo-oooh-ooooo. It hit me that way instantly.

Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues

1) If you wanna continue the heavy-hitting stuff without a break, you have 2 options: - back to autobiographical Ren for some incredible singing, do Chalk Outlines (LIVE). You also get to meet Chinchilla, who Ren describes as his musical sibling, and that should tell you something about what you might hear on Chalk Ourlines. Nicely-done little 1-take video, too. or - as so many are suggesting, jump into the Money Game trilogy. More rap-focused than singing, but he does use his singing voice to beautiful effect in Part 1. MG1 is my favourite Ren video anywhere in his catalogue. Incredible visual storytelling. MG2 is often cited as a fan-favourite - it's studio produced and plays well as a song on a playlist (while also having brilliant lyrics). WATCH THE LYRIC VIDEO FOR MG2, not the live video. MG3 is another cinematographic masterpiece; story-telling through and through, in both the song and the video. 2) If you think you'd like a break from the darkness and the intensity, go for pure musical collaboration JOY and check out The Big Push's I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop (the one with Ren wearing red suspenders... other versions of Ren doing Sheriff exist, both solo and with The Big Push, but the Red Suspenders Ren performance is the stratospherically good one). Or if one of you happens to be a big Black Sabbath fan, try the video of The Big Push doing War Pigs first instead. The Big Push isn't "Ren's backup band." The 4 of them genuinely adore each other as musicians and songwriters (certainly the 3 guitarists anyway; I'm still not super clear on whether Glenn was a part of their songwriting/creative process once he joined... apologies to Glenn if you were, I don't want to diminish your contributions to everything!) Ren *is* mainly the front man for the band, but Gorran and Romain take lead vocals sometimes. And Girran sometimes plays guitar, while Ren takes over the bass. My understanding is that they broke up/went on hiatus because Ren didn't know how long he'd be in Canada pursuing treatment. It's been almost year now (plus, Ren didn't know if the treatment would help him enough to restore more of a normal life to him - I think his health probably prevented The Big Push from playing the kind of shows they wanted to play. Not sure how long other talented musicians could afford to mostly only play shows via busking, no matter *how* amazing Ren is and no matter how much they love each other). This is long enough, apologies! Loved this reaction to Jenny & Screech A LOT. I really enjoyed your commentary on the structure of the narrative & video. You kept saying things during Jenny's Tale and Screech's Tale that were even more highly relevant/bang on the money than you knew, because of their relevance to Violet's Tale.

Where genetical personal characteristics are passed down, as Screech becomes like his father, Jenny becomes like Violet, still and silent...it's a deeper meaning...

Did you notice father (Stevie) and son (screech) were both angry violent men and Jenny and violet were quiet and maybe even shy.

Love your insight and appreciation of Ren's music!❤ Looking forward to more.

Brilliant reaction and I love all the acknowledgments you give to Ren for his unparalleled talent!

Fantastic reaction and yes...the whole point of these tales are for us to look at how we are as a society. Ren explained once that this story came about from him watching a news report on a young prostitute having been stabbed to death by a 14 year old boy in London. But what struck him the most were the reporter's words at the end 'it's such a shame'. The brushing off of the tragedy of what happened to just move on to another news story, as if there was nothing anyone could have done about it anyway I think is what bothered Ren the most. You were right about Jenny in her being a prostitute unfortunately, bc you realise that if she was 14 like her twin, why was she walking the streets a thousand times at night, in high heels ans rosy cheeks. This adds to the tragedy bc then you realise the reason why she would find herself in that situation ( she was also abused as a child like her mum). Oh and 2005 is not a postcode but the year. Jenny and Screech were 14 at the time those tales came out which was 2019 and 2005 places Violet's tale 14 years prior at their birth. Please now do The Money Game trilogy. Another absolutely fantastic trio of related songs by Ren but not in the same way as this one. Please also choose the official Lyric video for Money Game 2 and not the live as the latter is not as complete. Can't wait! 😊

Outstanding reaction!! I truly enjoyed your breakdown of this trilogy!!! I look forward to your reaction to more of Ren's work! He is truly the artist genius of our time! He's independent and in charge of his musical destiny!! "He makes you think and makes you feel" was a perfect description of his impact on the very important musical community! Well done!! ❤ ("Something about Mary" reference was brilliant!)

I like that, a musical Swiss Army knife. ♥️♥️

Shakespeare reincarnated with a guitar to go with his quill.

Ren play drum bass piano guitar produces mixes his own beats beatboxes sings and raps great storyteller can do any Genera you should do Ren ft chinchilla chalk outlines live how to be me live Ren ft Edan Nash Humble and Occean also Ren loosing it Ren Patience money game trilogy

If you want to see more of Ren's range I would suggest the Love Music series (1-4) it is amazing. There is so much and it's all good. Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla (do live not lyric video), Animal Farm (1st official, then live). Crutch (with Bibi), Murderer (1st official, then live). I could fill the page but I've never seen a Ren video that didn't make me think or feel.

As film makers it would be great to see your interpretation of Ren - Screech’s Instagram story .... which is a short dramatic fictional video compendium to the Tales trilogy and fills in Screech’s motivations

Really enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece ❤ Look forward to seeing you react to more Ren Cheers guys 🍻😀

You are gonna love Ren's trilogy Money game. Money game 2 is a lyric video, and the best choice for this trilogy. You'll find Ren has several versions of some of his songs, all good, so enjoy the ride.

IIRC, this was filmed during the COVID lockdown in the UK - which would explain at least why the streets were deserted.

Great reaction fellas. Thorough breakdown!! Thanks

Absolutely loved your reaction! Ren is a masterful story teller and never ceases to amaze.

at the start of Jenny tale Ren was beatboxing trumpet in Screech tale when he make phone call she was busy because she was with Patrick that why he never answer the door

Thank you 🙏❤ MyIndie Productions ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - ❎❎🎸🎺🏥🔪 The Tale of Jenny and Screech reaction! #ren #taleofjennyandscreech #violetstale

Awesome reaction guys! The story is heartbreaking.. but a story that needs to be told. 🖤🖤🖤

One last comment (God help us all lol) - if you do Money Game 1, 2, and 3 there is no need to do them all at once like you did here with The Tales, or even necessarily in order - there is no cohesive narrative at all, they simply share a common theme. I would even suggest doing Part 2 first as it is a simple little song and lyric video, and pair it with Part 1, which is an actual video worthy of analysis. Regardless, Part 3 is deserving of its own time to be appreciated. It's a lot to take in. Imo.

2005 was the year, they were 14 when the song was recorded in 2019.

After watching Hi Ren, Sick Boi and Jenny's tale ( trilogy) I think you would really enjoy his Money Game trilogy, part 1 and part 3 are live videos. Part 2 is a lyric video that is amazing. Money Game part 1 and part 3, along with Hi Ren, Sick Boi and the Jenny's Tale trilogy were all filmed by one of Ren's best friends and award winning cinematographer, Samuel Perry-Falvey. Story telling at another level.

The tales are a pure masterpiece, these should be studied in universities their that important, I’ve done a breakdown of all the main characters with my theories of how it all fits together on my YT, like all great art it’s up to the individual to get what they want from it so I’m not claiming my Theories are correct but offer an explanation

These tales keep on giving. I must have seen them a dozen times now, and only just realised jenny and screech make a cameo appearence at the start of violets tale.

Actually, 2005 refers to the year when Violet gave birth to the twins. This was made in 2019, 14 years after their birth :-)

Can we talk for just a second about his perfect use of the James Bond chord at the end of Screech's Tale?

Absolutely excellent reaction to one of Ren's greatest works of art. As a point of interest, Ren's father plays 12th and 13th century music in a quartet. I think you will agree that you can hear that type of music in the chord and note choices Ren adds to his music.

Yes, always here for y'all and #Ren ❤

Shout out to Sam Perry-Falvey, his videographic partner in crime.

The reactor black Pegasus interviewed Ren and he said money game 1 took 182 takes to get it right

Welcome friends to the wormhole that is REN the Bard, the journey is long ,deep and sometime very dark, there is also hope, love, joy

I like to think, Ren takes care of his audience. Even dark songs have safe elements to them, and you guys picked up on that. In the listening we are involved, and concerned, yet safe ourselves. He is very clever, even my limited musical ear can pick up on that fact. I look on Ren as a Pied Piper, who pulls his listeners in a dance along whatever path he chooses. sometimes we cry, sometimes we laugh and always we are left contemplating what we heard, and wanting more. Always wanting more.... Edited to add, I have watched countless reactions to this trilogy, and you guys rank in the top few reactions. You seem to appreciate the genius of Ren's works (and mind). Thanks.

Jenny had Violet’s personality and stays quiet and Screech has Stevie’s personality, 2005 is the year. He wrote Jenny and Screech in 2019. He says Screech was 14.

He talks about repeating his performance and lyrics exhaustively beforevthe filming night. He practices till he could do it in his sleep Also the yales were done a year apart with Jenny and Screech and Violet came 2 years later still. Ren created an entire online treasure hunt in preparation of release of Money Game 3. With clues all over regarding the 7 deadly sins. There were cash peizes and it required us to use colkective intalligence to solve. On the last one the winner actually dug up a suitcase of money and was faced with a decision. When the decision was made the video EDEN came up on the live stream. Worth doing a reaction to this. The live twitch stream after was incredible.

Hey guys I really hope you get thousands of views , cause you guys absolutely nailed This 👍👍🍺🍺 from the tragedy to Ren bursting out after having been held back through illness 🍺🍺🍺

Hi. Great reaction. Those weren't gaffer tape markings, it's a rubber seal around a floor access panel. 👍🕊️

Ren is the GOAT! ❤

Judging from your recent reactions, you may enjoy Ren's band, The Big Push, covering War Pigs in a Black Sabbath mashup; it's phenomenal.

Wow wow wow! Excellent reaction and analysis!! Very insightful! (Sorry this got really long 😅) I just watched your reactions to Hi Ren, Sick Boi, and now the Tale of Jenny and Screech. Best line ever “Ren is a musical Swiss Army knife” 😂😂 it’s so true! And you are so right, everything Ren does is very intentional. He is a master storyteller and puppeteer. He has said before that music is his therapy. He has also discussed in interviews that part of his purpose as an artist is to create an “empathy window” and “threads of humanity” through sometimes difficult or ugly topics to help people feel seen and less alone, to give a voice to the voiceless, and to help people understand and relate to what others are going through. I think you realized during Violets Tale that these are recorded live. Hi Ren was also recorded live, all with a lavaliere mic. And Ren does almost all of his own audio engineering too! A HUGE shout out needs to go to Samuel Perry-Falvey, the cinematographer behind Hi Ren, Sick Boi, and The Tales, as well as many of Ren’s other videos (including Money Game 1 and 3)! Hi Ren was a nominee at Camerimage in 2023! There’s so much more Ren I want you to see! You have to do the Money Game trilogy!! I would suggest doing each video separately. Part 1 and Part 3 are also one shots recorded live (well, technically pt 3 is two shots). For part 2 you need to do the lyric video. Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla (live) will show you more of his singing voice. I think you would appreciate Crutch featuring Bibi. It’s an older video and a bit less known but tells more of Ren’s story. It came out not long after his Lyme disease diagnoses, but may have been made prior to that. You really can’t go wrong with anything Ren does. And you never know what you’re going to get. Also highly recommend reacting to his former band, The Big Push. A great starting point is I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop medley (the one with Ren in red suspenders, about 8 min long), and Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble so Hard medley. They also have some great original songs.

Ren is Iconic

Shakespeare meets Dickens = Ren's bardcore tradegy

Speaking on his planning and preparation, the release of Jenny and Screech was in 2019. That is when they would have died, meaning they were born in London City, 2-0-0-5. He is amazing.

Great discussion, thank you. The idea that Jenny was a 14 year old walking the streets late at night in "high heels" makes the quality of her life a little clearer and more tragic. Thanks again.

Jennys tale was prompted by a newspaper article and people saying such a shame Screeches tale followed a few months later but it took a other 2yrs before he tied it all together with Violets tale. You ha e to be patient for this genius.

The inarguable talent that not only I but the majority of us have been missing. Love the reaction🙏🏽✌🏽

Great reaction and analysis guys, I really enjoyed that...

Ren❤❤❤❤

Ren... Crutch.... Nuff Said!

I love the musical Swiss army knife comparison!

I would highly recommend you check out Crutch by Ren if you haven't yet. It is a shorter song that tells an entire story, and the videography on it is incredible.

Thank you for this great reaction ti Ren's Bardcore Masterpiece - totaly agree - it's outstanding in sooo many aspects...we witness a beautiful RENaissance 👌🏼✨

As filmmakers you would like Cruth.
